We were outside looking at the lightning storm that was occurring and heard a very loud boom sound and something that can't be catagorized by us was overhead in the South Sky. It was streaking with contrails like a jet but downwards and bright red and orange and kind of bluish in color. I am unsure of what this was and the emergency numbers said they don't know maybe a shooting star. I have seen shooting stars and never that bright or sounds that loud. The sound was extraordinary. It was much longer and more acute than I have ever heard anything including thunder. I am just wondering if anyone else out there saw this tonight?
